Why do people keep calling illegal aliens undocumented immigrants?
Wiki User
∙ 11y ago
It comes down to a disturbing US trend of the last few years called "political correctness." The fact remains that if you are in this country without proper documentation, you are an illegal alien. The problem is that some people are looking for ways to grant them amnesty from prosecution or deportation, and calling them "undocumented" makes it sound like they are nothing more than US residents who have skipped over a mere technicality. Others believe that amnesty is the beginning of a very slippery slope which will, in essence, throw open the borders to any and all with no oversight of those coming into the country.

Discuss the good and bad of the new legalization regulations for undocumented aliens?
Tough question, I will do my best.Undocumented aliens are often taken advantage of by businesses. Employers will pay illegal aliens a very low wage because the employer knows that the illegal alien cannot use the legal system to protect his rights. By helping illegal immigrants obtain citizenship or at least a work visa or green card, we can help keep wages up for everybody.The bad aspect of allowing formerly illegal immigrants to obtain a legal status would allow lawbreakers to flout the law. We do not want to encourage people to come here illegally.ADDED: (in the US) There are NO legalization regulations for undocumented aliens.
